The first step involves using safe fact checking tools such as these websites - Snopes.com- Politifact
Ms. Thiru, I don't see this article on Snopes or Politifact!

That's okay Ryan, we're all learning! The next step is to find the original source; where the information was first shared and posted about.
Oh, I heard it on Tik Tok and did not even bother to check on any other sites!

Ms. Thiru, does that mean we need to open old school textbooks and search through the library?
No Ryan, I think we can copy images from the article to cross-reference it's credibility through Google Searches!
That's right class! Let's move on.
